Beautiful! The Singer R series machines are among the most beautiful of all vacuum cleaners. (btw, you have the bag on backwards -- the Singer logo should face th front.) |

Thanks for the advice charlie. I was tempted to try to turn it around but I had images of it not coming off properly or just tearing. Hi Jeff, The bag was re dyied back to its original color. I had to unpick the logo which took ages. I was then going to put it back on the right side but the patch where it was originally was darker then the rest so it that to go back over where it was before. Oh well I tried!!! It still has the original light bulb in it still working!! JB |

Then there was the low-profile "S" series. This type was made for quite a few years and in several diffenent two-tone color schemes including two-tone gray, tan and pink. |

The first upright Singers were straight-suction machines. There were two of them, A1 and A2. Here is a brochure for one or the other of them (can't remember the differences between them). |

And here's a fun photo from a 1920s Singer trade show exhibit. The bag lettering states "Singer Two-Speed" so one would assume this is the A2. Note the hand vac and attachments in a little pile there. |
